Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're here in the after of a murderous crafter, the past
Is spun like a yarn and mangled
With flesh and blood and bones, I wonder
Did no one hear the distant thunder?
[Verse 2]
The autumnal reaper, the stains of this creeper will last
The shine and the sham entangled
Like salting earth with tears of Jesus
He sliced and diced our dreams to pieces
[PreChorus]
For the dreams that you dread, ah
Will become just as real
Like the blood that was shed, ah
On the slash of his steel
For the street walking dead, ah
Was quite a scene, wasn't it?
For the lost and misled, ah
Were promised seats by the pit
[Chorus]
We will break away together
I'll be the shadow, you'll be the light
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night
[Verse 3]
We are leaving this city
So this is farewell
Goodbye, Seven Sisters
And Saint Jezebel
The moon in the gutter
Has a story to tell
One day, he will come back
From the bowels of Hell
[PreChorus]
He appeared to ascend
So we all stood there in awe
Now we have to pretend
We didn't see what we saw
When the curtain unveiled
To the sound of applause
That the king that we hailed
Was the Wizard of Oz
[Chorus]
We will break away together
I'll be the shadow, you'll be the light
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night
[Outro]
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night
